Papers, [Box #, Folder #], Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library Biographical Note Philip Morris Hauser was born September 27, 1909, in Chicago, to Morris and Anna Diamond Hauser. He attended Austin High School and Central YMCA College of Arts and Sciences in Chicago before entering the University of Chicago in 1928. He received all of his degrees at the University of Chicago, a Ph.D. in 1929, an A.M. in 1933, and a Ph.D. in 1938. Hauser married Zelda B. Abrams in 1935, and they had two children, William Barry, born 1939, and Martha Ann, born 1941. 3 Hauser was an Instructor of Sociology at the University of Chicago from 1932 to 1937, and also taught courses during this time at YMCA College. After a period of government service in Washington, D.C., he returned to the University of Chicago in 1947 as a Professor of Sociology. He served as Associate Dean of the Division of Social Sciences from 1949 to 1952, and as chairman of the Department of Sociology from 1956-1965. In addition, he was director of the Chicago Community Inventory and the Population Research and Training Center, research enterprises connected with the Sociology Department. In 1974 Hauser was named the first Lucy Flower Professor in Urban Sociology. By the time he retired in 1977, Hauser's affiliation with the University of Chicago had spanned nearly 50 years. The "Chicago School" of sociology was in its heyday at the time Hauser was a student. He took his first courses in sociology at YMCA College from Louis Wirth, a recent University of Chicago graduate. After entering the University of Chicago, Hauser studied with Robert Park, Ernest Burgess and Ellsworth Faris, and as a graduate student did some of the footwork for monographs being published by younger professors such as Herbert Blumer and John Landesco. Hauser's work was marked by characteristics of the "Chicago School" including the emphasis on "human ecology," the study of the urban environment, and the idea that sociologists should take an active role in applying their knowledge to social problems and the formation of public policy. The most influential professor for Hauser was William Fielding Ogburn, who specialized in statistical methods. Although Hauser had done much of his early work in crime and penology, he became increasingly involved in population studies and vital statistics. Hauser's career with the government began when he worked as an enumerator for the 1930 census. In 1934, he accepted a position with the Federal Emergency Relief Administration in Chicago; within a few months he was transferred to Washington, D.C., and became chief of the Laboratory Inventory Section. Hauser was responsible for compiling the two-volume Workers on Relief in the United States in March, 1935. Although he returned to Chicago in 1936 to finish his Ph.D. degree, he continued to oversee the project to its completion. In 1937 he went back to Washington, this time to work for the Bureau of the Census. Hauser was assistant chief statistician for the National Unemployment Census of 1937-38, and in 1942 became assistant director of the Census Bureau. From 1945 to 1947 he worked concurrently as an assistant to the Secretary of the Department of Commerce. Hauser was largely responsible for the scientific development of the Census Bureau during the 1940s, both in terms of designing and implementing systems for collecting and tabulating data, and of demonstrating the potential uses of census information, especially to businesses. In 1946 he co-edited Government Statistics for Business Use, which described what kinds of information could be obtained from the government, and how government statistics might be used to solve business and economic problems. Although he returned to academic life at the University of Chicago in 1947, Hauser continued to serve the government in various capacities. He was the U.S. representative to the Population Commission of the United Nations Economic and Social Council from 1947 to 1951. Due to the sudden illness of the director of the Census Bureau in 1949, he was called back to Washington as acting director only months before the 1950 decennial census was scheduled to begin. In addition to looking after the administration of the Bureau at this crucial time, he made 4 many public appearances to explain the nature and purpose of the census to ensure cooperation with the enumerators. In 1951-1952 Hauser spent 15 months in Burma as a statistical expert for the U.N. Technical Assistance Administration, and later took a similar assignment in Thailand. He returned to Southeast Asia many times to work with governments and universities in developing vital statistics and modern training in population studies. Throughout the remainder of his career Hauser participated in conferences, advisory panels, and research projects for the federal government, the city of Chicago, and the United Nations, dealing with problems such as urban growth, desegregation, aging, and fertility control. Active in his profession as a sociologist and demographer, Hauser served terms as president of the American Statistical Association, the Population Association of America, the Sociological Research Association and the American Sociological Association. He helped organize the Organization of Demographic Associates, a professional association based in Singapore. He took part frequently in seminars and conferences in the U.S. and Asia concerned with standards of measurement and interpretation of demographic data. Hauser wrote numerous articles on population trends and problems, statistical methods, and uses for census data, which were published in journals, magazines, books and government reports. The books he authored and edited include Local Community Fact Book for Chicago, 1950 (with Evelyn M. Kitagawa, 1953), The Study of Population: An Inventory and Appraisal (ed., with Otis Dudley Duncan, 1959), The Population Dilemma (ed., 1963), and World Population Problems (1965). In addition, Hauser served as an editorial advisor to several journals and publishers, including Encyclopaedia Britannica. By the mid-1950s, Hauser was one of the nation's foremost experts on population studies. Because of his position at the University of Chicago and his experience in the Census Bureau, the United Nations and in Southeast Asia, he was often called upon to explain and interpret population data to a wide variety of audiences. Hauser was a popular speaker; in addition to appearing on government panels and at academic conferences, he was a frequent guest on TV and radio shows, and spoke before business conventions and community groups such as the City Club of Chicago, the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, and the Planned Parenthood Association. The titles of some of Hauser's speeches and papers suggest the range of topics to which he directed his attention: "Census Facts Sell Advertising" (1950); "Facing the Implications of an Aging Population" (1953); "The 1960 Census and Its Implications for Libraries" (1961); "Population and Housing in Chicago, 1960" (1963); "On Development of Population Policy" (1969); "Implications of the Population Explosion, Implosion,

    The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of GEORGE A. LUNDBERG

    The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of George A. Lundberg The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of GEORGE A. LUNDBERG edited by ALFRED DE GRAZIA RoLLoHANDY E. C. HARWOOD PAUL KURTZ published by The Behavioral Research Council Great Barrington, Massachusetts Copyright © 1968 by Behavioral Research Council Preface This volume of collected essays is dedicated to the memory of George A. Lundberg. It is fitting that this volume is published under the auspices of the Behavioral Research Council. George Lundberg, as its first President, and one of its founding members, was dedicated to the goals of the Behavioral Research Council: namely, the encouragement and development of behavioral science research and its application to the problems of men in society. He has been a constant inspiration to behavioral research not only in sociology, where he was considered to be a classic figure and a major influence but in the behavioral sciences in general. Part One of this volume includes papers on George Lundberg and his scientific work, particularly in the field of sociology. Orig­ inally read at a special conference of the Pacific Sociological Association (March 30-April 1, 1967), the papers are here pub­ lished by permission of the Society. Part Two contains papers not directly on George Lundberg but on themes and topics close to his interest. They are written by members of the Behavioral Research Council. We hope that this volume is a token, however small, of the pro­ found contribution that George Lundberg has made to the de­ velopment of the behavioral sciences. We especially wish to thank the contributors of the George A.

Developed in the 1920’s by Ernest Burgess and Robert Park, University of Chicago . Hypothesis of this theory is that cities grow and develop outwardly in concentric zones. Sought to explain the socioeconomic divides in and out of the city . Model was based on Chicago’s city layout . First theory to explain the distribution of social groups CONCENTRIC ZONE THEORY….? • Social structures extend outward from one central business area. • Population density decreases towards outward zones • Shows correlation between socioeconomic status and the distance from the central business district • Also known as the Burgess Model, the Bull’s Eye Model, the Concentric Ring Model, or the Concentric Circles Model. Concentric Zone Model ZONE 1: CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT(CBD) • Non-residential center for business. • “Downtown” area • Emphasis on business and commerce • Commuted to by residents of other zones Commercial centre . First, the inner most ring zone or nucleolus of the city is a commercial centre also called Central Business District (CBD) in North America and western countries. This zone is characterized by high intensity of commercial, social and civic amenities. It is the heart of the city which includes department stores, office buildings, shops, banks, clubs, hotels, theatres and many other civic buildings. Being the centre of commercial activities and location, it is accessible from all directions and attracts a large number of people.

    1 Norbert Wiley, University of Illinois, Urbana The Chicago School and Democracy: An Elective Affinity Analysis* Abstract. This paper argues that the main achievement of the interwar (1914-1936 or so) University of Chicago sociology department was to construct a humanistic social psychology, one that defined human nature as composed of symbols. This replaced the various social psychologies that pictured humans as biologically determined in some way. In the late teens and early twenties there was a culture war over “Americanization” in the United States. The conservatives argued that the new immigrants (mostly Jews, Italians and Poles) were biologically inferior to the native protestants due to faulty, inborn instincts. They further argued that the new immigrants should not have the full rights of American citizenship. The liberals, lead by the Chicago department, argued that “all men were equal.” They backed this up with the claim that all humans consisted of symbols (cultural elements) and that these semiotic resources were all equal. Human were morally and legally equal because they were “ontologically” equal. With this social psychology the Chicago department built a sociology, consisting largely of community studies in Chicago. The sociology was important, but not as important as the social psychology. I then make a comparison between Chicago sociology and Weber’s Protestant Ethic, arguing that in both cases the causal force at work was one that used an elective affinity process. ********************************** The major achievements of the classic Chicago school of sociology (World War I to about 1936) were two-fold. First they invented a sociology, along with a rich tradition of empirical research, and second they invented a system of presuppositions to that sociology.

American Sociology and the Genealogy of its Missing Women on Wikipedia Wei Luo, Julia Adams and Hannah Brueckner “People just don't vanish and so forth.” “But she has.” “What?” “Vanished.” “Who?” “The old dame.” … “But how could she?” “What?” “Vanish.” “I don't know.” “That just explains my point. People just don't disappear into thin air.” --- Alfred Hitchcock, The Lady Vanishes (1938)1 INTRODUCTION In comparison to many academic disciplines, sociology has been relatively open to women since its founding, and seems increasingly so. Yet many notable female sociologists are missing from the public history of American sociology, both print and digital. The rise of crowd- sourced digital sources, particularly the largest and most influential, Wikipedia, seems to promise a new and more welcoming approach.

    The Chicago School of Sociology 1915-1940 Between 1915 And

    Mapping the Young Metropolis: The Chicago School of Sociology 1915-1940 Between 1915 and 1940, a small faculty in the University of Chicago Department of Sociology, working with dozens of talented graduate students, intensively studied the city of Chicago . They aspired to use the approaches of social science in developing a new field of research, and they took the city as their laboratory. Chicago was the ideal place for such an effort: in the last half of the nineteenth century it had grown from a population of 30,000 in 1850, to 1,700,000 in 1900, probably faster than any city in history. More than one-third of the population had been born abroad, in Germany, Poland, Ireland, Italy, and dozens of other countries. It had a panoply of social problems, such as prostitution, drunkenness, hoboes, and boys' gangs. The Department of Sociology faculty sent students out into Chicago's "real world" to collect information. They employed all sorts of research methods—they refined existing ones, such as censuses, surveys and mapping, and they invented new ones, such as the personal life history. They described and analyzed what they had seen. The Chicago sociology faculty wrote books, such as The Polish Peasant in Europe and America. Graduate students in sociology wrote dissertations, many of which became books published by the University of Chicago Press. Notable among them are The Ghetto, The Hobo, The Gang, and The Gold Coast and the Slum. Many of the books became sociological classics. Prior to this work, sociology was for the most part a combination of history and philosophy, an armchair discipline.

  • The Rise of Urban Sociology

    The Rise of Urban Sociology

    CHAPTER 3 THE RISE OF URBAN SOCIOLOGY special inquiry devoted to urban phenomena was the premier achievement of early A US sociology. The first sociology department in the country was founded by Albion Small at the University of Chicago in 1893. Robert Park joined the department in 1914 and quickly took on a prominent role. Albion Small and Robert Park had something in common: both had traveled to Germany as graduate students to take courses with Georg Simmel. In the 1890s only France and Germany had profes- sional sociologists. Emile Durkheim, a sociologist at the Sorbonne in Paris, had de- veloped a growing reputation in France. Max Weber, the German scholar who wrote on law, politics, religion, society, and much more, was acknowledged as the leading social thinker of his day. And another important sociologist, Georg Simmel, had a growing reputation as the most innovative social philosopher on the Continent. The first generation of sociologists shared a special concern with the impact of urbanization on European society. The political revolutions of the 1800s brought an end to earlier ideas that the social and political order reflected a divine plan. What exactly would the new social order, created by widespread changes in the economic and social structure, look like? In the wake of the social and political changes brought about by the French Revolution, questions about how social order could be main- tained were not simply a matter of idle speculation. These questions were essential to understanding the very nature of the new industrial society that was transforming European cities. Ferdinand Tönnies (1855–1936) is one of the early German social philoso- phers who addressed these questions.

    Families, Social Change, and Individual Lives

    Families, Social Change, ., and Individual Lives ." Glen H. Elder, Jr. KEYWORDS. Autobiography, adolescentdevelopment, employment, longitudinal research,socialization INTRODUCTION The 20th century is marked by one large-scale event after another and their human consequences. As a child of World War II, these conse- quences have long intrigued me. They also directed my attention to the family. Whether expressed in terms of long-run trends or an economic depression and world war, social change has profound implications for people through its impact on family relationships, structures, and interac- tions. In this research problem, family life becomes a bridge between the macro-changes of society and the experiences and life chances of indi- viduals. A second type of research problem has focused my attention on the family as a matrix of relationships, a matrix in which members' lives are embedded and regulated across the life span and generations. Individual lives are linked to other lives through family and intergenerational ties. Across the 1960s and early 1970s, I viewed these questions from a perspective on socialization. But like much of social psychology, this theoretical framework captures influences at a point in time. It does not address the changes that take place in society, in community and family, and in the lives of individuals. From this point to the mid-1970s, I grad- ually shifted my theoretical perspective toward the life course.1 This conceptual transition coincided with the theoretical and empirical tasks of following children from the early 1930s to mid-life. Publication of Children of the Great Depression (Elder, 1974, 1999) marked the be- ginning of this new stage of work, as later expressed in Life Course Dy- @2001 by The HaworthPress, Inc.
